Abstract
The first total synthesis of the macrocyclic antibiotic-antitumor agent (+)-hitachimycin (1) has been achieved via a convergent and efficient route (22 steps, 1.2% overall yield). The key transformation entailed a highly stereoselective, three-component coupling of (-)-5-methoxycyclopentenone (5) with a zincate derived from vinyl iodide 4a and aldehyde (-)-6.
